I agree, I have been seeing inaccuracies in temps for this area, for a few weeks now,vast difference to what I am witnessing in Lilydale. Thanks for sharing. :? :? :?

Becoming hot again: February 26-

Full cloud, 23C, light winds and a few spots or rain here. BOM's max temp for us revised down to 32C from 35C a few days ago. We've dried out a lot in the last few weeks, so not underestimating the impact/ fire risk with the strong winds forecast for later today, but with this cooler, damper start,...

Very very dangerous, so stay well away from that region...

Thankfully the creeks and rivers have peaked. The Avoca River at Logan managed to get to minor flood level, and flash flooding has subsided at Wedderburn.
Good to hear

Re: Becoming humid with showers, storms and rain: November 22-30

Some crazy winds locally on Wednesday afternoon/evening with strong South Easterlies coming off the Dandenongs. Montrose and Kilsyth in the lee of the hills were particularly windy with quite a few trees down and a tin roof ending up in a neighbour's garden :? Relatively calm up in the hills. After...

Re: Heavy rain and storms, with mountain snow: October 3-

We too are on Tank water at Lilydale, and agree Macedonian, our tanks were too low for October, at 17000 gallons, we are now upto 19500 gallons and 39mls, so relieved to be almost full, not that I mind too much about buying some water if necessary, but the taste is not good and it isn't cheap.

A top of 23 degrees predicted for our neck of the woods today at Lilydale, a high of 18.8 reached, very cool and cloudy all day :roll: :?: :?: , currently 18.5 degrees, I am surprised by the the big variation and accuracy of the prediction.
